The image depicts an organic chemistry reaction mechanism
The image depicts an organic chemistry reaction mechanism. It begins with a cyclic ketone undergoing deprotonation at the alpha-carbon using a base, followed by alkylation with methyl iodide (MeI) to add a methyl group. The reaction is repeated with excess potassium hydride (KH) and MeI, adding two more methyl groups. Finally, the ketone undergoes a reaction with sodium amide (NaNH2) in ether (Et2O) to form an allylic double bond. The final product is an unsaturated cyclic ketone.
